Today was my second egg retrieval.nLast time, there was no communication and I was left feeling anxious and in severe pain, and normal fertilization was not achieved.nI was considering transferring to another hospital if it didn't work this time.nToday the female doctor and nurse were very kind.nThey spoke to me very politely and the pain was kept to a minimum. When it was over, I cried tears of relief rather than the results. I think I can keep going a little longer..

I transferred to this hospital after visiting two other hospitals. After transferring, I got pregnant with my second child after two egg retrievals and two transfers, so I'm grateful.nnThe egg retrieval here is done without anesthesia, but I personally felt it was less painful than the egg retrieval I had at the other hospital. I have experienced egg retrieval with local anesthesia, intravenous anesthesia, and no anesthesia at other hospitals, but the side effects of the anesthesia and the pain during egg retrieval were so severe that the egg retrieval here was almost painless, so I thought I could do it as many times as I wanted.nnThe doctors and staff are all calm, but if they are dealing with that many patients every day (it seems that at peak times they come in at about 500 in a day), I thought it was inevitable that they would be somewhat manual. However, I was never told anything unpleasant or insensitive, and overall I was never dissatisfied. I wondered what the director's examination would be like on my first visit, but he listened sincerely to my past treatment history and answered my questions, which gave me a sense of security.nnThe waiting time is especially long on weekends. However, they have made efforts such as app accounting, and I think it can't be helped with this number of patients.nPerhaps because of the long waiting time, some people go out and don't come when called, and I felt that the time spent waiting for such people ultimately affects the overall waiting time. I think there are some problems on the patient's side as well.nI recommend early morning and afternoon to evening on weekdays, as it doesn't seem to be that crowded.nI also really appreciate that they are open 365 days a year, starting early in the morning.nnBefore transferring to this hospital, I had been undergoing infertility treatment with high stimulation at another hospital for about four years, so I was initially worried about this low stimulation method. However, I think that their policy of carefully cultivating high-quality eggs is based on a large number of cases, and I'm glad I trusted them and left it to them. Thank you very much.

I have not gone there for check-up since i was scared and mentally disturbed after talking over phone to the rude girl in the reception. She is in fertility clinic and doesn't even know how to say 'IVF' in english. That sounds weird to me.nnShe didn't even try to explain me the word IVF as i can understand basic Japanese and has been going to other hospitals on my own. Instead she told me very rudely to make there call again only if i have someone very good in Japanese beside me. It seems that even to be a mother in Japan one needs to know Japanese. I was so hurt.nnAnd now i have read all the reviews, i have decided not to go there at all.
